Answering that age old question, "Why Didn't He Call?":
Guys are born with a fundamental, genetically transmitted mental
condition known to psychologists as: The Fear That If You Get
Attached to a Woman, Some Unattached Guy, Somewhere, Will Be
Having More Fun Than You. This is why all married guys as assume
that all Unmarried guys lead lives of constant excitement
involving hot tubs full of naked international fashion models
(This is True); whereas in fact for most unmarried guys, the
climax of the typical evening is watching an infomercial for
Hair-in-a-Spray can while eating onion dip straight from the
container. (This is also true of married guys, although
statistically they are far more likely to be using a spoon.)
So guys are extremely reluctant to make commitments, or even
to take any steps that might lead to commitment. This is why,
when a guy goes out on a date with a woman and finds himself
really liking her, he often will demonstrate his affection by
avoiding her for the rest of his life.
Women are puzzled by this, "I don't understand," they say,
"We had such a great time! Why doesn't he call?"
The reason is that the guy, using the linear guy thought process,
has realised that if he takes her out again, he'll probably like
her even more, so he'll take her out again, and eventually they'll
fall in love with each other, and they'll get married, and they'll
have children, and then they'll have grandchildren, and eventually
they'll retire and take a trip around the world, and they'll be
walking hand-in-hand on some spectacular beach in the South Pacific,
reminiscing about the lifetime of experiences they've shared together,
and then several naked international fashion models will walk up and
invite him to join them in a hot tub, and he won't be able to do it
because he is married.
Thanks Cadder for sending this one!
